No matter how much effort an ISP puts in or the government does, censorship always gets a backdoor. One of the biggest Controversial File Sharing site 'The Pirate Bay' is censored in various capacities in some countries around the world, but Pirate Bay is celebrating its 10th birthday in Stockholm sponsored by an energy drinks maker.

On their 10th anniversary the site is releasing its “Pirate Browser,” a custom Firefox browser that skirts Internet censorship and lets you access the Pirate Bay from anywhere.

However, Its founders recently served jail time for their activities, with one of the founders going back to prison in an unrelated Swedish hacking case.

PirateBrowser is meant to focus more on unrestricted access to the Internet than it is about being able to download new episode of Breaking Bad without paying for them, but one tends to be a function of the other.

According to the Pirate Browser website, It's a customized Firefox 23 and includes a Tor client and with some specialized proxy settings, but the browser does not make you anonymous. It's simply a mechanism to maintain access to the entire, uncensored Internet.

The Pirate Bay explains, “It’s a simple one-click browser that circumvents censorship and blockades and makes the site instantly available and accessible. No bundled adware, toolbars or other crap, just a Pre-configured Firefox browser,”.

The Pirate Bay team told that “PirateBrowser” is just the first step in their efforts to fight web censorship. They are also working on a special BitTorrent-powered browser, which lets users store and distribute The Pirate Bay and other websites on their own.

Downloads are available in various forms including direct download and, of course, torrent and magnet links. The browser is currently available for Windows, although Linux and Mac versions are in the pipeline.
